Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-7599:
-------------------------------------
Some comments:
1. The mapred system dir should be 700ed
2. The -format is always called by default in hadoop-setup-hdfs. Can we make
the formatting done based on command line option (-format) provided by the user
running the script. I really don't want implicit namenode formatting.
3. We could let the directory /mapred be group owned by the system group.
4. The --datanodes & --tasktrackers options - could they be made optional? They
might be already optional. Please confirm.
5. Could we live with namenode-url instead of replacing it with namenode-host
(ditto for jobtracker-url). I also see you changed a couple of other places in
a backward incompatible way (like HADOOP_JT_HOST, taskcontroller ownership).
Want to avoid incompatible changes.
6. Why did we remove the call to hadoop-setup-config.sh from
src/packages/hadoop-setup-conf.sh
7. The group is hardcoded to 'hadoop' in a couple of places. Can we avoid that?
8. I see commented-out lines in hadoop-setup-conf.sh. Please remove those.
9. I don't think we should blindly overwrite the conf files in the config
directory. We probably should warn & exit if the conf directory already has
some files within. The user can probably use --force if he wants to avoid the
warning.
10. All the components in the path leading up to taskcontroller.cfg has to be
owned by root. Have this checked.
11. Where is HADOOP_SECURE_DN_LOG_DIR used?
12. A whole lot of configuration options that you added in the *-site.xml files
are already there in *-default.xml. We don't need those. We only need the
security related ones. Also, we don't want to play with the non-security
configs like mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum.
